Abstract
Children (ages 3.7 to 9.2 years) viewed patterns moved continuously behind a stationary aperture, identifying the shapes by referring to a confusion matrix. Age affected recognition of sequentially viewed (but not simultaneously viewed) shapes; recognition errors for the different shapes (square, cross, and “E”) were only marginally different.
